Generally speaking, regular income, good credit history & enough saving for 3% deposit of purchase price plus costs e.g. stamp duty, lenders mortgage insurance, legal fees etc. is the key requirement to get a home loan approved. However, its best to consult with professional rather than making your own assumptions. At sage we can help you on all aspects of home loan with no service charge payable.
Maximum loan you can borrow is 97% of property value. So you will need 3% of purchase price plus costs. e.g. Stamp Duty, Lenders Mortgage Insurance, Bank Fees, Legal Fees etc. Allow us 5 minutes over the phone & we will be happy to calculate those costs for you & tell you how much money exactly you need to buy a home.
If you are borrowing only 80% of the property value then there will be no lenders mortgage insurance involved. However, if you have to borrow more than 80% of property value than higher the loan ration higher mortgage insurance premium. We will estimate this insurance premium before submitting the loan application and structure the loan in your best interest to minimize the premium as much as possible.
